Join in as we look at the third battle between the Cimbri and the Romans in Gaul. This battle represents the first confrontation of the Cimbri Wars that actually has a breakdown of the battle from Roman sources. This battle could decide who will ultimately control Southern Gaul. For Rome, if they win, they can expand their dominion further into Gaul and finally earn a rest from the last few years that have seen them fighting on all fronts. Meanwhile the Cimbri could push the Romans out of Gaul for good and even threaten an invasion into Northern Italy. Both sides are out for blood and will find enough to last a life time on the fields of Arausio.
